Was browsing and saw this on clearance..it's the same price as you'd pay for just the carseat, but you get teh stroller to. In "sundance" which is an odd green and orange?
$104, with 97cent shipping

Oh puke. That cover is gross.
Sorry to anyone who likes it.
I paid $90 at Target for my BT. I hated the stroller, though. It turned nicely, but unfortunately it would ONLY turn. I could not get it to go in a straight line, on the linoleum floor at BRU. So we got a Graco stroller and put the BT on it. It doesn't snap in, but there's also no way that it's falling out unless you turned the stroller completely over.

WHOA. Just whoa.
Someone had special mushrooms the day they designed that cover. Yum. :whistle:

You would never lose that in the stroller parking at the fair;)
I must admit I halfway like it though...not enough to actually buy it, but it's kind of happy or something LOL!:D

I like it:o I saw someone with it the other day at walmart and thought it was such a nice change from all the light green graco covers.

My friend had this pattern for her baby. It fit her eccentric personality quite well. Too bad she has him FF now at 9 months in a harnessed booster. :(

what? i don't know how close you two are or if it would endanger your friendship but i'd say something if i were you. no matter the outcome, her child's safety would be my utmost concern *shudders* - that is insane. i'm not criticizing you for not saying anything yet but a booster? i mean to be FF at that age is ridiculous but it's not even in a convertible seat which means that child is in serious danger!
anyway. on the topic of the post. wow. i wouldn't want that stroller even if it were free but i am completely LOVING that carseat cover!

She said harnessed booster. So a combination seat.

I've schooled her on the importance of RFing AT LEAST until 1 AND 20lbs and beyond that even. I even posted the youtube videos on my myspace hoping she might watch and get the hint. She just doesn't seem to see the issue. I have mentioned it to her at least 3 times though. Not sure there is much else I can do. It just makes me so mad. And she doesn't even harness him in it right. Its way to loose and he has a huge coat on and the straps are twisted. :thumbsdown:
For your viewing horror...

WHOA! yikes, yeah. sounds like you've done all you could...and i did misunderstand and envisioned just a highback booster, not a harnessed one so that's at least a wee bit comforting. but still. wow, that's worse than britney spears. and i know how it goes. i have some friends that don't even have their three and four year olds in anything other than the seatbelt. and my mom kept trying me to FF my toddler as soon as he turned a year old because "he'd like it better." i explained that not only was it incredibly safer for him to stay RFing, but he'd not know the difference since he'd never experienced sitting any other way. i finally switched him before he turned two because he was very tall and weighed 30lbs so i felt okay about it, but before that? no way!

I know! Its so frustrating that people can't wrap their minds around how important this stuff is. I have met some Mom's who are completely neurotic about what their kids eat, yet haven't the slightest idea about how to use a car seat. And don't get me started on the Grandparents. I know back in the day a carseat wasn't even heard of, but c'mon. My MIL said that my Mom made the comment to her that I always put the seat in "soooooo tight". I told her I take that as a compliment. LoL

Oh, freaking crap.
I swore I'd never buy another infant seat or another travel system. And I DON'T shop Wal-Mart.
But I freakin' love that insane neo-hippy pattern.
You guys are going to make me break 3 solemn vows at once if I keep looking at that seat. I love that pattern.

right? i just found out the companion isn't going to fit in my car and i am SERIOUSLY considering buying this set. i could sell the stroller on CL to recoup most of the costs....
